Chapter 765 4.42 Two hairpins in the southern country (continued) Part 2
"Grandma is well." Wu Chen recognized the uninvited mysterious guest at a glance.
"This tree is not bad." Grandma is a thousand-year-old tree demon. Although she has lost her body, with her strength, she has already united her body and mind.
"Thank you, grandma, for your praise." Wu Chen said in cooperation with her.
"I heard that the Poison Ivy Girl cast the spell?" Grandma Mu Ji asked directly.
Wu Chen decided not to hide it in an instant: "Yes."
"What else did she tell you?" Sure enough, grandma's words were waiting here.
"She said something she wanted to say, and I didn't object." Wu Chen made a general statement.
However, Grandma Muji understood: "Okay. I heard that you can make soap?"
"Yeah." Wu Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Make me a piece if you have time." Mu Ji's grandma finally turned her attention to Wu Chen: "Tell me, what do you want." Grandma meant to ask Wu Chen to propose the conditions for making soap.
"Grandma, can you take me with you when you go out next time?" Wu Chen took the opportunity to express his request.
"You want to go out of town too?" Grandma asked with a smile.
"Yes."
"Whatever it is. Find a time, and I'll take you out." Grandma Mu Ji turned and left.
"Thank you grandma." Wu Chen hurriedly saluted behind him.
After sending grandma away, Wu Chen rushed to a tea house non-stop, and took Murong Yan to Wangyou Restaurant together.Before knocking on the door this time, the tower-like man has already opened a door swiftly.Put two people in.
It is true that Gui Yunniang is good wine, but Wu Chen dare not drink a bowl at a time.Taste slowly, so as not to get drunk too quickly.
After Murong Yan put down the wine bowl, Wu Chen finally revealed his future goals.
"Sister Xiang'er, you are an expert in the Five Elements. I would like to know which of the Five Elements is the 'blood crystal' transformed from human flesh and blood?"
"Blood crystals are outside the five elements." The proprietress said it right.
"I see." Wu Chen was slightly disappointed.
The proprietress said again: "Although it is outside the five elements, some people with extraordinary talents can still draw energy from it."
Wu Chen nodded, he thought of the Night Walking Dragon Queen.She can draw energy from blood crystals.No need to eat or drink at all.
"So what exactly are blood crystals?" Wu Chen asked.
"Blood crystal is blood essence. The essence of blood is condensed in it. However, it jumps out of the five elements. It is beautiful but useless. The energy contained in it cannot be mobilized. It is like gangue mixed in coal, although it looks very similar. Coal, but not much use."
"Coal gangue. Or called 'crystal gangue'." Wu Chen understood.
"Exactly." Mrs. Xiang'er nodded with a smile.
Smelling her Buddhist fragrance hidden under the rouge and powder, Wu Chen became more and more fascinated by the identity of the proprietress.In other words, even the Twelve Gold Hairpins of the Shaw Brothers are like a treasured technical house, but they can't find out the source of the proprietress in front of them. This is unscientific...
I don't know the value system in the prison city, anyway, every time Wu Chen comes, he puts a small piece of soap as a drink.The proprietress Xiang'er should be satisfied.
Promising Wu Chen to go to his Xiangfang to set up a five-element guardian circle when he has time, Wu Chen then bid farewell to Murong Yan and left.
When sending him back to Xiangfang, when he heard that Wu Chen was going out of the city with his grandmother, Murong Yan's worries were all on his face: "Brother Wu, that Muji grandmother is famous for being moody, good and evil. There is no iron law of not killing people, if she has malicious intentions, brother will be in danger."
"It's true..." Wu Chen nodded.Recently, he was a little bit elated when he was called a master by another master.She almost forgot that when she first met Grandma Mu Ji, she wanted to kill herself!If the white-haired witch hadn't blocked it, he would have turned into a red crystal pillar and was planted outside.
Well, I have to guard against it.
After thinking about it, Wu Chen had just stepped into the Xiangfang with his front foot, and then went to the Dream Thorn Life Hall with his back foot.
The living hall full of thorns and dreamy atmosphere can realize "memory reappearance"!
This surprised Wu Chen.
The so-called memory reappearance is like playing a somatosensory game.Through special potions and instruments, some interesting fragments in the depths of a person's memory can be reactivated and reproduced in the form of dreams.There are many similar movies, "Reborn Man" and "Total Recall" both have related plots.
Why do so many people want to live in a dream.The reason is because the reality is too cruel.So I want to find the beauty of living in the memory of the past.
Apparently, Poison Ivy achieved all this with a special plant-based neurotoxin.
It's very simple, when Wu Chen walked in, all he saw were withered vines, as if he had walked into a huge tree hole.There is no high-tech equipment that virtual reality technology requires.Therefore, the method that can realize memory reappearance must be a nerve agent.
Wu Chen's arrival surprised Poison Ivy.It can even be said to be a surprise.
Wu Chen also visited the method of dream reappearance at close range.
Asking a customer to lie on a couch, Poison Ivy first urged her to sleep with a low and melodious voice, and then gently dripped a drop of emerald green 'eye drops' in each of her eyes.The moment the medicine drops on the eyeballs, the customer's pupils suddenly turn into a strange color.
The whole body tensed up, and then gradually relaxed.Entered the dreamland with a smile.
"How did you do that?" Wu Chen was full of curiosity.
"What?" Poison Ivy asked with a smile.It seems that there is no judgment between justice and evil, but Poison Ivy showed a kind side in the prison city.
"I mean, how do you know which memory she wants to enter?" This is Wu Chen's question.According to his thinking, without a high-tech terminal capable of flipping through the 'memory folders' stored in neurons, how could the Poison Ivy woman 'select' the memory archives that the guest wants to activate with potions?
"It's her own choice." Poison Ivy revealed the answer: "When she comes to me, I will chat with her first. This is a very important part. In this way, she will involuntarily recall the good time It’s just that many details have been blurred due to the long time, so be careful and think about it, and then drop my potion, and it will naturally enter her dusty good memory.”
"Understood." Wu Chen nodded happily.
"Speaking of which, why did you come to see me?" Poison Ivy asked with a smile.
"It's like this..." Wu Chenxuan told Poison Ivy that he was about to go out of the city with Mu Ji's grandmother.
"Based on what I know about her, she won't do such back-and-forth things. Since she decides to take you with her, she will naturally protect you. If she goes with you but fails to return, her reputation in the prison city will be ruined." Destroyed. In this prison full of serious criminals, the most difficult thing to build is trust with people. Lost trust, and her good life in the city will be over."
"Because there is no law, morality becomes the only guarantee." Wu Chen understood.
"That's right. In your words, 'Jianghu matters, Jianghu affairs'. This is the rule of the prison city. Anyone who breaks the rules will not be far from death. Since there is one rule in the rules: Words must be believed, actions must be done If she agrees to take you out, she will bring you back intact." Poison Ivy laughed.
"I'm a villain in vain." Wu Chen laughed at himself.
"You are new here, so it's normal not to know these rules." Poison Ivy handed Wu Chen a bottle of bright green potion that she had prepared, "However, the rules also say: You must be cautious. So, bring it with you." , self-defense when necessary.”
"Thank you." Wu Chen handed her a piece of white jade lotus soap newly made from the Dragon Queen of the Night Walking Dragon.
"Wow, what a refreshing scent." Poison Ivy seemed to like it very much, and immediately put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it again and again: "I heard that you made a piece of soap for Malkin, which is much bigger than this, isn't it?"
"That's right." There was nothing to hide.
"Then, if you have time, make a secret one for me, too?"
"No problem. Wait until I come back from outside the city." Wu Chen made an appointment with her for a rough time, and said goodbye and left.
Taking the witch with him, Wu Chen rushed to the place where Erchai often placed orders - Paramount Nightclub.
The signboard composed of colorful light bulbs and neon tubes is full of the visual sense of Shanghai at night.The two sides of the steps are full of flower baskets sent by the distinguished guests who come to hold the horns, and the names of the singers who appear on the stage are written on the flower cards outside the gate.Wu Chen looked around, but there was no familiar name.In other words, he doesn't watch many musicals like the Great Shanghai.I am not familiar with the names of these big Shanghai singers.The ones I remember most are Little Jinbao in "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge", Nicole in "Moulin Rouge", and Velma in "Chicago".
Like all night shows, admission is free.Watching performances is also free of charge, but sitting down and spending money is very expensive.
The drinks here are much worse than Paradise nightclub.Wu Chen ordered a glass of water with the universal 'Prison City Coupon', and sat quietly in the corner with the witch, watching the performance on the stage.
It's a pity that they are all ordinary characters, and there is no surprise that can make his eyes shine.
After listening to the last song, he was about to leave when a crisp voice suddenly sounded from beside him: "Master, can I buy a pack of cigarettes?"
The cigarette seller holding the cigarette case wore two braids.It instantly matched the situation in Wu Chen's memory.It's just... where does tobacco come from in a prison city without plants?
The dead dog halo immediately opened.Wu Chen smiled and bent down: "Little girl, how do you sell these cigarettes?"
"A pack of three yuan." The little girl replied crisply.
"Okay." Wu Chen took out three prison city gold coupons and handed them to the little girl.
The little girl stared nervously at the three gold coupons, then at Wu Chen, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Master, can you give me a piece of soap?"
"Huh?" Stretching out his hand to hold the witch's wrist, Wu Chen asked with a smile, "little girl, why do you want soap?"
"Because of sister Xueling... because of sister Xueling..." The little girl who didn't know how to speak was about to cry.
Wu Chen's heart suddenly softened, and he took out a piece of his own pine scented soap, and put it in the sister-in-law's cigarette case.Then he pointed at the cigarettes in the pack and said, "Can I choose?"
"Yes, yes!" The little girl nodded again and again, extremely happy.
Wu Chen carefully selected a pack.This kind of seriousness is for the little girl to see.In fact, tobacco is the same to him, it is right that it is choking anyway.
Turning around, I found that the back of the cigarette case was actually printed with a big and seductive head portrait of Grandma Muji.The head portrait is still the kind of exaggerated and charming poster unique to Shanghai.
Wu Chen immediately bowed down.
Heartbroken, he signaled the girl not to leave, and exchanged a piece of soap for a pack of cigarettes of another brand.
Turning it over and looking again, it was immediately clear.
On the back of this pack of cigarettes is a large and graceful head portrait of the Poison Ivy Girl.
It's no wonder that the two are intriguing and never ending. This is the vicious competition between national brands!
